The mute should be done with the right hand. The little “u” and “d” mean up and down (how to pick the chord). The big letters are the chords. The two versions of the bass line are mentioned in the song. I don’t remember what the sequence is, but I think that listening to the record will help. Hope you can find the lyrics and enjoy playing this song. I have no idea how to play the solo, but the rest of the song is OK.
